Finding Strength

Sometimes you just need to repeat something over and over in the mornings to help you through the day. I say the same thing every day and thought I’d share it with you to see if it offers you the same inner strength.

Today is my day, my day and my choice
Today I will walk with my head up and eyes on the future
Today you cannot bring me down
Today you will not make me feel inadequate
Today I will be strong and do all I can to be the best person I can
You will not change me
I am fine just the way I am

The trick after saying this to yourself is to listen to one of your favourite songs as loud as you can before you get to your destination – it might be work or school but the effect is the same. Try some of these:

* Feeling Good – Nina Simone
* Wonderful World – Louie Armstrong
* Killing in the Name of – Rage Against the Machine
* Big Machine – Velvet Revolver
* Love Machine – Arctic Monkeys
* Monkey Wrench – Foo Fighters
* Holiday – Green Day
It might seem a little strange and it might seem a bit much but something about these words makes me feel better in the mornings when I am lacking a little in a bit of oompf.

If you’re ever a little low feel free to borrow them – it really will make you feel better!
